Yukon Advanced Optics, a world wide leader in the development and distribution of night vision and sporting optics, stay true to their one simple mission; to produce high quality optics at affordable prices. Their items are lightweight, compact, and quite durable. Extreme care is taken in the construction and design of each optic, and special attention is paid to the art and physics of optical science. This level of quality control ensures that each device is a joy to hold, use, and look through.
Yukon's CS Sharp Shooter Day and Night Vision Riflescope gives you the flexibility and performance you need. This scope easily transforms from a daylight sighting device to a NVRS by simply swapping out the eyepieces. No longer do you need to carry two scopes and lose your zero setting in the process of exchanging them. This day and night time scope offers all the features the tactical marksman looks for in a quality sighting device; parallax correction, 1/4 MOA precision adjustments, waterproof housing and recoil proof weapons mounting rail. The 2nd generation plus intensifier of the night vision eyepiece delivers an astounding level of resolution of 45-57 lp/mm. Second generation NVDs are an excellent value, and offer excellent optical performance & resolution.
There are many different variables that affect the distance that one can see with a night vision device, among them the object's size, the level of details being sought from the object and the conditions of observation. Night vision devices detect much further under a full moon and clear skies than they will under a new moon and cloudy skies. Many different formulas are used to determine the statistic of maximum viewing range and this varies by manufacturer, so ultimately the generation of the intensifier tube is much more relevant than any quoted statistic when determining the maximum viewing range.
All night vision devices sold by B&H have mechanisms in place to protect the intensifier tube from a sudden burst of bright light, but this does not mean that bright light doesn't damage the device. Bright light in any form is not good for the longevity and performance of image intensifier tubes.
